The best overnighting option is the newly opened owner’s villa, designed for resort owner Louis Bacon, which opened earlier this year. It sits on a more private corner of the island and has spectacular sunset views, though the other dozen thatched-roof chalets are impressive, too.

Hotels Own Introduction
Discover the untamed beauty of 14 remote islands, driven by conservation and defined by adventure. With 13 of these islands left untouched, our immersive experiences allow guests to connect with the raw, natural beauty of Panama’s wild Pacific Coast. Whether it's hiking nature trails, whale watching, surfing, scuba diving, or participating in wellness activities rooted in the surrounding environment, Islas Secas offers a unique blend of adventure, discovery, and conservation.
Located in the remote Eastern Tropical Pacific, Islas Secas sits in one of the most productive marine environments on Earth. The combination of the Humboldt current, undulating seabed, seamounts, and oceanic islands create nutrient-rich waters that attract an extraordinary variety of marine life, including impressive megafauna.
At the heart of Islas Secas lies Terraza, a relaxed gathering and dining spot with breathtaking beachside views. Offering a barefoot chic atmosphere, Terraza is the perfect place for lazy breakfasts, long lunches, and celebratory dinners. Guests can unwind on daybeds under the palms or dine at stylish tables beneath the soaring thatched roof, embracing the open-air setting.
A wellness escape at Islas Secas is deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Our holistic approach incorporates the lush, secret-garden setting, fragrant products inspired by Panama’s islands, nutritious ocean-to-table cuisine, and yoga sessions in the fresh ocean breeze, celebrating the wild beauty of this enchanting archipelago.
